The Fall Sale on The Humble Store
rolls on, and they are now offering a new free game after
last week's Killer is Dead
giveaway. Today's offering is Brütal Legend,
Double Fine's rock-and-roll adventure where you play as a jacked Jack Black.
This is playable on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and is redeemed via a Steam key
if you pick up your free copy by Wednesday afternoon. Here's a refresher on the
game:

Brütal Legend is an action-adventure that marries visceral action
combat with open-world freedom. Set in a universe somewhere between Lord of the
Rings and Spinal Tap, it’s a fresh take on the action/driving genre, which in
this case is full of imitation cover bands, demons intent on enslaving humanity
and Heavy metal tunes. Featuring the talents of comedian, actor and musician,
Jack Black as super roadie Eddie Riggs, as well as cameos by some of the biggest
names in metal music it's a wild ride in the belly of the beast that is not to
be missed by gamers and Metalheads alike.

Included as a free bonus in the PC version of Brütal Legend are both the Hammer
of Infinite Fate and Tears of the Hextadon multiplayer map packs.

Yeah the Demo really sets up high expectations. Actually, the whole build-up to the first boss sets up high expectations and then the game rushes once past that.

Apparently the game is only about 50% as long as they originally wanted it to be. If it had sold better it would have had a sequel I guess.

I enjoyed the f*ck out of it for what it was. The RTS game sucked. It was admitted that the whole strategy was to spawn a throng of dudes and go attack with the throng.

However, the art design, voice acting, soundtrack, driving, and beat-em-up portion of the game was absolutely top notch.

The game I think plays better with a controller than keyboard & mouse. I've owned the game on PC for a while and it just never played quite as well with K&M.

Loved the game, right up until the game turned into the RTS it really is. Not sure why Double Fine literally hid the fact that the game is an RTS most of the time, but whatever. It was years ago, I got over it lol Still, pretty fun game and I recommend it, especially if you are a metal head or like rock.

Yeah, I never got past the 5-hour mark, although it seemed it was starting to really open up, I just had different priorities. Might be too far gone to go back now, but I remember being thoroughly impressed by the soundtrack, voice-acting, and general spunk.
